I now have started adding Dr. Harvey's veg-to-bowl - freeze dried human grade veggies that come to life with warm water as real pieces of vegetable. Heavenly no-cook minestrone! And his Barkotti biscuits and freeze dried tripe Power Patties treats are outrageous. I have samples to send to anyone who writes asking for a signed bookplate to put in their copy of THE DOG BIBLE - so get a copy, send your address and I'll ship you out some tastes of heaven for your boy.

You can't get better than that! It is also a high protein kibble at 33% but the vital fact is the origin of that protein. You don't really know what is being counted as protein in foods with much higher protein levels (EVO being one). Remember that melamine AND the wheat gluten which it polluted were both being counted in a total protein percentage when neither was really bio-available to the dogs digestive system. So don't be sure of what exactly caused it when your dog has a bad reaction to a food - just avoid it! As for The Honest Kitchen, my dogs have been eating it for years as 1/3 of their meal. As large dogs, I have always given 1/3 of the meal as kibble but now I can feel really good about it! And Halo has joined me as a website sponsor - along with THK - so you'll be keeping it all "in the family."

I also feed my dog THE HONEST KITCHEN and occasionally add in cooked meat, veggies, rice, or sardines to give him some variety. You mention feeding a "high quality kibble". Which kibble do you recommend? P.S. My dog did not do well on EVO - too high protein levels made him vomit & he has a sensitive tummy. I am not in any hurry to switch food but am just curious what you would consider a high quality kibble that I could add to THK food. Hi Tracie
